Need Help with Simple Division on Fillable PDF / Java (see image)

Question

Im getting the dreaded "value doesnt match format" pop up. I have sucessfully created my first fillable PDF but now I need someone to help me with the java

I have never "done" java ... and I am a newbie at best with creating PDFs and adobe.

Here is what I am trying to do. Its super basic I just dont know anything about Java

example:

Text30 = Text27/Text28

Text29 = Text27/total

Text33 = Text26/total

Text34 = Text26/Text28

I realize the errors are popping up due to my simple formulas having empty blanks that are "seen" as zeros ...

for Text30 = Text27/Text28 I did try this to no avail:

var Text27 = this.getField("Text27").value;

var Text28 = this.getField("Text28").value;

if (Text28 !== 0) {

event.value = Text27 / Text28;

} else { event.value = "Divsion by zero!"; // Handle the case of division by zero

}

PDF doesn't support Java, so you'll have to use JavaScript.

var text27 = this.getField("Text27").value;
var text28 = this.getField("Text28").value;
if (text28 != 0 && text28 != "" && text27 != "") {event.value = text27 / text28;}
else {event.value = "";}
